This study measured the difference that defense counsel made to the outcome of homicide and death penalty cases. One in five indigent murder defendants in Philadelphia were randomly assigned representation by the Defender Association of Philadelphia while the remainder received court-appointed private attorneys. This study's research design utilized this random assignment to measure how defense counsel affected murder case outcomes. The research team collected data on 3,157 defendants charged with murder in Philadelphia Municipal Court between 1995-2004, using records provided by the Philadelphia Courts (First Judicial District of Pennsylvania). Data were also obtained from the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas, the Pennsylvania Unified Judicial System web portal, the National Corrections Reporting Program, and the 2000 Census. This study contains a total of 47 variables including public defender representation, defendant demographics, ZIP code characteristics, prior criminal history, case characteristics, case outcomes, and case handling procedures.

This dataset contains data about case records created
between 1859-1959 in the Massachusetts Superior Court (and its
predecessors) for two Massachusetts counties. Part 1 contains data for
1,952 criminal cases with 52 descriptive variables, including: type of
crime, year crime was committed, pleas, sentences, appeals, size of
file, and demographic characteristics of victim and defendant (e.g.,
gender, status, residence, and occupation). Eighteen variables
describe and rate each case's historical interest. Part 2 contains
data on 1,968 civil (law, equity, and divorce) cases, with 82
descriptive variables, such as: relationship between parties, type of
complaint, relief sought, disposition, relief granted, number of
claims, damages awarded, size of file, and demographic characteristics
of plaintiff and defendant (e.g., gender, status, residence, and
occupation). Ten variables describe and rate each case's historical
interest. In both data files, criteria for historical interest coding
include: (1) inherent interest, such as offenses that are not routine
(e.g., white-collar crimes, sexual crimes, and serious felonies),
parties who are inherently interesting (e.g., famous persons,
institutional defendants, and law enforcement personnel), and legal
proceedings that are inherently interesting (e.g., alleged violations
of prosecutorial or judicial discretion), (2) contexts that are
inherently interesting, and (3) extraordinary documentation, such as
those that shed light on the legal system (e.g., pardons or letters
from citizens' committees), shed light on social history (e.g., the
testimony of a woman who moved to the city and inadvertently ended up
in a brothel), provide legal/procedural information (e.g., the details
of search or a technical challenge to an indictment), and describe public
or political history (e.g., milk inspection or zoning laws).

The Multnomah County, Oregon, Jury Project was conducted as
part of the Modeling Jury Decision Project funded by the National
Science Foundation. These data represent a census of 32 jury panels
that served from July 1973 through March 1976 in the Fourth Circuit
Court in Multnomah County (Portland), Oregon. Information was obtained
for both six-member and twelve-member juries. Data were collected from
official court records, monthly juror panel summaries, and
self-administered juror demographic data sheets. Information collected
includes members of the jury, their votes, the final verdict, the type
of case, the name of the judge, and the amount of time taken by the
jury to arrive at a decision, as well as each juror's age, occupation,
years of residence in Oregon, educational background, family
information, and information on past juries and trials they were
involved in. The data include both individual-level juror and
aggregate jury case data, with information on 6,657 jurors and 1,159
trials.

This data collection contains the results of a study
created in response to New York State's 1973 revision of its criminal
laws relating to drug use. The Association of the Bar of the City of
New York and the Drug Abuse Council jointly organized a joint
committee and a research project to collect data, in a systematic
fashion, (1) to ascertain the repercussions of the drug law revision,
(2) to analyze, to the degree possible, why the law was revised, and
(3) to identify any general principles or specific lessons that could
be derived from the New York experience that could be helpful to other
states as they dealt with the problem of illegal drug use and related
crime. This data collection contains five files from the study. Part 1
contains information gathered in a survey investigating the effects of
the 1973 predicate felony provisions on crime committed by repeat
offenders. Data include sex, age at first arrest, county and year of
sampled felony conviction, subsequent arrests up to December 1976,
time between arrests, time incarcerated between arrests, and number
and type of short-span arrests and incarcerations. Part 2 contains
data gathered in a survey meant to estimate the number and proportion
of felony crimes attributable to narcotics users in Manhattan. Case
records for male defendants, aged 16 and older, who were arraigned on
at least one felony charge in Manhattan's Criminal Court, in 1972 and
1975, were sampled. Data include original and reduced charges and
penal code numbers, and indicators of first, second, third, and fourth
drug status. Part 3 contains data gathered in a survey designed to
estimate the number and proportion of felony crimes attributable to
narcotics users in Manhattan. Case records for male defendants, aged
16 and older, who were arraigned on at least one felony charge in
Manhattan's Criminal Court or Manhattan's Supreme Court, were sampled
from 1971 through 1975. Eighty percent of the sample was drawn from
the Criminal Court while the remaining 20 percent was taken from the
Supreme Court. Data include date of arraignment, age, number of
charges, penal code numbers for first six charges, bail information
(e.g., if it was set, amount, and date bail made), disposition and
sentence, indications of first through fourth drug status, first
through third drug of abuse, and treatment status of defendant. Part 4
contains data gathered in a survey that determined the extent of
knowledge of the 1973 drug law among ex-drug users in drug treatment
programs, and to discover any changes in their behavior in response to
the new law. Interviews were administered to non-randomly selected
volunteers from three modalities: residential drug-free, ambulatory
methadone maintenance, and the detoxification unit of the New York
City House of Detention for Men. Data include sources of knowledge of
drug laws (e.g., from media, subway posters, police, friends, dealers,
and treatment programs), average length of sentence for various drug
convictions, maximum sentence for such crimes, the pre-1974 sentence
for such crimes, type of plea bargaining done, and respondent's
opinion of the effects of the new law on police activity, the street,
conviction rates, and drug use. Part 5 contains data from a survey
that estimated the number and proportion of felony crimes attributable
to narcotics users in Manhattan. Detained males aged 16 and older in
Manhattan pre-trial detention centers who faced at least one current
felony charge were sampled. Data include date of admission and
discharge, drug status and charges, penal code numbers for first
through sixth charge, bail information, and drug status and
treatment.

The major goal of the United Nations Surveys on Crime Trends and the Operations of Criminal Justice Systems was to collect data on the incidence of reported crime and the operations of criminal justice systems with a view to improving the analysis and dissemination of that information globally. Surveys were distributed to officials in every member country of the United Nations. Designated officials completed the surveys to the best of their abilities given the country's available data. The survey questionnaire consisted of a series of questions which asked for data, primarily statistical, on the main components of the country's criminal justice system, for the given time period of the wave of data collection. To date, there have been ten waves of data collection. Crime variables include counts of recorded crime for homicide, assault, rape, robbery, theft, burglary, fraud, embezzlement, drug trafficking, drug possession, bribery, and corruption. There are also counts of suspects, persons prosecuted, persons convicted, and prison admissions by crime, gender, and adult or juvenile status. Other variables include the population of the country and largest city, budgets and salaries for police, courts, and prisons, and types of sanctions, including imprisonment, corporal punishment, deprivation of liberty, control of freedom, warning, fine, and community sentence. The countries participating in the survey and the variables available vary across the ten waves. There are two versions of the Wave 2 data (Part 2: Wave 2a , 1975-1980; Part 3: Wave 2b, 1975-1980) because, for various reasons, the variables from Wave 1 and some variables from Wave 2 were combined into one dataset. Similarly, some variables from Wave 2 were combined into one dataset with the variables from Wave 3. For this study, the combined Wave 1 and Wave 2 dataset was separated into Parts 1 and 2 (Wave 1, 1970-1975, and Wave 2a, 1976-1980, respectively) and the combined Wave 2 and Wave 3 dataset was separated into Parts 3 and 4 (Wave 2b, 1975-1980, and Wave 3, 1980-1986, respectively).

The Fourth United Nations Survey, covering the years
1986-1990, was designed to increase knowledge regarding the incidence
of reported crime and the structure of criminal justice systems, as a
basis for improving the international exchange of information. The
main objectives of the survey were to determine which data are
generally available in national databases and to provide an instrument
for strengthening cooperation among member states of the United Nations
by putting the review and analysis of national crime-related data in a
broader context. Variables describe combined police and
prosecution expenditure by year and by country, number of police
personnel by gender, total number of homicides by country and by city,
number of assaults, rapes, robberies, thefts, burglaries, frauds, and
embezzlements, amount of drug crime, number of people formally charged with
crime, age of suspects, number and gender of prosecutors,
number of individuals prosecuted and the types of crimes prosecuted for, gender
and age of individuals prosecuted, types of courts, number of
individuals convicted and acquitted, numbers sentenced to capital
punishment and to various other punishments, number of convictions
on various charges, number of individuals sentenced and in detention,
number of prisoners, sentence lengths, and prison demographics.

The United Nations International Crime Prevention and
Criminal Justice Branch began the Surveys of Crime Trends and
Operations of Criminal Justice Systems (formerly known as the World
Crime Surveys) in 1978. The goal of the data collection effort was to
conduct a more focused inquiry into the incidence of crime worldwide.
To date, there have been five quinquennial surveys, covering the years
1970-1975, 1975-1980, 1980-1986, 1986-1990, and 1990-1994,
respectively. Starting with the 1980 data, the waves overlap by one
year to allow for reliability and validity checks of the data. For
this data collection, the original United Nations data were
restructured into a standard contemporary file structure, with each
file consisting of all data for one year. Naming conventions were
standardized, and each country and each variable was given a unique
identifying number. Crime variables include counts of recorded crime
for homicide, assault, rape, robbery, theft, burglary, fraud,
embezzlement, drug trafficking, drug possession, bribery, and
corruption. There are also counts of suspects, persons prosecuted,
persons convicted, and prison admissions by crime, gender, and adult
or juvenile status. Other variables include the population of the
country and largest city, budgets and salaries for police, courts, and
prisons, and types of sanctions, including imprisonment, corporal
punishment, deprivation of liberty, control of freedom, warning, fine,
and community sentence. The countries participating in the survey and
the variables available vary by year.
